Alice was born on the farm in her family home on April 4 1938. She was raised with a strong work ethic; she helped with farm chores, performed well in school, and graduated from the Misericordia School of Nursing in 1959. She went on to a long career in nursing and worked in many communities; Mundare, Camrose, Lac La Biche, and Edmonton, all while working shift work and being a mom. When Mom retired, she was able to spend time on the many interests she had- gardening, crafting, dancing, bowling, curling, and volunteering. What she enjoyed the most was doting on her grandchildren and opening her home to family and friends. She was a trusted advisor, friend, and always, above all else, she was Mom. We would like to thank the Emergency staff, the nursing staff on Station 5E4, and the Medical teams at the University of Alberta Hospital. You gave Mom exceptional care, and treated her with dignity, respect and kindness. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations to be made to the University Hospital Foundation by visiting info@givetouhf.ca It was Alice’s wish to return to the place of her birth for her final journey.
